Q Instructions For this assignment you will provide a definition of what we are studying this session: the West. When defining the term, you should consider the following aspects of the term: chronology, demography, geography, and culture: that is, how understandings of what constitutes the West have changed over time; how the West has been defined in terms of the people inhabiting it; the specific regions that constitute the West; and the cultural traits that have been ascribed to the West. The paper should be at least two full pages of original text in length. Outside sources are not necessarily required, but any assertions presented in the paper as facts need to be supported by evidence. Similarly, passive voice should not be used when discussing things like the culture of the West--the paper should not state things such as "The West is associated with independence"; it needs to identify who associates it with independence and show evidence to support the assertion. The paper should use Chicago format, including 12-pt Times New Roman font and one-inch margins on all sides. The paper should be submitted as a .docx file The paper will be graded according to the following rubric: A: The paper is two full pages of original text in length and is free from grammatical errors and errors in formatting.
